The Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women (KFAW) annually holds the Program on Gender Mainstreaming Policies for Government Officers under an agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA Kyushu International Center). The Program is designed to foster such officers’ abilities to develop and implement effective and comprehensive policies to mainstream gender-based perspectives in addressing various problems in developing countries. It also aims to ultimately realize a gender-equal society in respective countries.
The program was held from June 15 to July 22, 2011, with a total of seven participants from five countries. Those trainees of the program made presentations for the general public at KFAW’s Country Report Meeting on July 20, 2011.
Ms. Reiko Ogawa, Associate Professor at Graduate School Faculty of Law, Kyushu University, acted as chairperson and coordinated the presentation. All trainees of the program made presentation about profiles of their own countries, gender problems and obstacles that should be overcome in order to achieve gender mainstreaming in their respective countries as well as their own action plans.
